The Utility of PET/CT for the Diagnosis of Periosteal Chondrosarcoma in a Patient With Maffucci’s Syndrome

Maffucci’s syndrome is a rare congenital nonhereditary syndrome with less than 300 cases having been reported in the United States. It is characterized by multiple enchondromas, hemangiomas, and rarely lymphangiomas. Enchondromas may undergo malignant transformation to chondrosarcomas. Surveillance...

description Maffucci’s syndrome is a rare congenital nonhereditary syndrome with less than 300 cases having been reported in the United States. It is characterized by multiple enchondromas, hemangiomas, and rarely lymphangiomas. Enchondromas may undergo malignant transformation to chondrosarcomas. Surveillance plays a vital role in detecting early malignant transformation. Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT, although falling out of favor, may be utilized as an imaging modality by physicians to determine such transformation, allowing for timely management and intervention. In this report, we share our experience with such a case.
